Brennan Johnson fires one-word jibe after Nottingham Forest thrash Derby County

Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson has reacted after the Reds' under-21s thrashed Derby County 7-2 last night (Friday).

Goals from Ateef Konate (x2), Josh Powell (x2), Julian Larsson (x2) and Oli Hammond secured the young Forest team all three points from the Premier League 2 Division 2 clash.

Forest posted about the result on their Instagram page, calling the youngsters' display a "stunning performance" and Brennan Johnson was among those to react in the comments section.

The 21 year-old Forest academy graduate simply wrote: "Easy" - a comment that garnered 100s of likes from supporters on the photo sharing platform.

Forest's under-21s are now up to third in the Premier League 2 Division 2 table, behind Southampton and Leeds. They will be targeting promotion to the Premier League 2 Divison 1, where the big clubs such as Man City, Arsenal, Man United and Liverpool play their under-21 football.

Friday's opponents and East Midlands rival Derby have had a torrid season in the under-21 league. They are yet to pick up a point from their opening 11 games of the season. They have a young, inexperienced squad that is being rebuilt after the club's administration.
